“This was the strongest performance of the BMW Sauber F1 Team so far, ” said BMW Motorsport Director Dr. Mario Theissen. “Not only did we score eight points, but Nick’s fourth place is really a special one. We were able to match the pace of the top cars, and Nick was even able to overtake World Champion Fernando Alonso on the track.
“Unfortunately an open fuel filler cover disturbed the aerodynamics of Robert’s car, but I am very pleased also for him that he scored his first points of the season. At the end of the day, the third race of the season was another step forward for the team. ”
